Re: Tomatoes
As a new guy I should be reading numerous posts in this thread, but I have not yet. In my area of NWFL growing tomatoes is a real challenge and from what I have seen hydroponics is very successful in my area. Heirlooms will not work for me. Best results have been with wilt and disease resistant cultivars.
This is all strange to me since I remember as a boy my step father planting tomatoes in Gary, IN and they grew w/o problems. We lived on the Tolleston ridge witch is basically a huge sand formation and the top soil had been removed by bulldozer to build our house. We put in a little topsoil and the tomatoes grew real well. Not so for me in NWFL where tomato growing is a major challenge in this area for gardeners. I have had good luck only once in the last 10 years or so here NWFL.
